Abstract
Haemangioma is a common benign tumour of the oral cavity, with the tongue, lips, and buccal mucous membranes being the most common sites. However, pedunculated haemangioma of the oral cavity is extremely rare. This report is of a 75-year-old woman with pedunculated haemangioma of the hard palate. A 15 × 15 × 5 mm-tumour was found to the right of the hard palate on examination, which increased in size after 2 months to 25 × 20 × 10 mm. The lesion was excised under local anaesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed vascular differentiation, with small and large vascular channels separated by thin-walled vessels, in the tumour. The diagnosis was capillary haemangioma. Interestingly, the tumour displayed a peduncle leading to the hard palate.
